This mode of operation stands for efficiency and precision, thanks to advanced digital signal processing. The work of Dr. Joe Taylor and his team has paved the way for ultra-quiet signals and even earned a Nobel Prize.

FT8 enables clear communication with minimal information, ideal for challenging conditions. Through precise synchronization and clever use of symbols, information is transmitted efficiently. Modern transceivers facilitate the connection with the PC, and the correct power setting, time synchronization and level limiting during transmission are crucial for smooth operation.

FT8 is becoming increasingly popular and dominating amateur radio. Its sensitivity and efficiency make it the first choice.
